The line-based format has had the flag since v4.4 (issue #286), where
it prepends -p to the built-in getty, which turns it into login -p and
passes the environment on. The block format was written from the three
documented tty variants and the flags listed in the tty documentation,
and passenv was in neither, so it was left out. Converting a tty line
that used it therefore lost it, with nothing said.
It only reaches the built-in getty. An external getty is handed its
arguments through command, so there is nowhere to put a -p, and the
setting is refused with a warning rather than quietly ignored.

The block title is the service identity, and libconfuse merges two
sections that share one, without a word. Two blocks titled the same
in one file therefore loaded as a single service holding a mix of both
declarations, with scalars taken from the last block and lists reset
by it.
system/10-hotplug.conf.in is written this way: two udevd blocks, one
per candidate binary, the way the line-based format spelled a
fallback. Only the second survived the merge, so a system that has
/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd but no udevd got no udevd service at all,
and the whole `if = "udevd"` chain behind it went with it.
CFGF_NO_TITLE_DUPES turns the merge into a parse error naming the file
and the title, and the file is then rejected as a whole. The same
title in another file is untouched, that is how an administrator
overrides a system .conf.
Format detection had to stop agreeing with it. is_new_format() probes
by parsing, so a duplicate title made it answer "not block format" and
conf_parse_file() handed the file to the legacy parser, whose errors
buried the real message. The probe now clears the flag on its own
copy of the option array, keeping the verdict syntactic.
